Using visual studio 2017 as your ide?

Answer 3

I reccommend that you make a prototype with no content and only using the most essential code.

If to like the prototype just keep building on it.

I do not play heartstons so you neet to find to most basic parts.

Then create codes to make it.

Answer 4

Can you link .h and .cpp files, so far?

No graphics it’s a windows console app

• You may implement a simplified version of the assignment to obtain a bare pass mark of 40%. If you follow this route then you cannot gain more than a pass mark of 40%.
• There are two players: “Sorceress” and” Wizard”.
• The game is played in rounds.
• The game has a maximum of 30 rounds. In each round each player takes a turn. “Sorceress” begins each round of the game.
• The players have health. Each player begins the game with 30 health points. When a player is attacked they lose health. When the health of a player reaches 0 they lose the game.
• Each player has a deck of cards. The deck of cards is read from file at the beginning of the game. Each player has their own deck: "sorceress.txt" and "wizard.txt". You may implement the decks as global variables.
• Go through deck in order, each player playing the next card in the deck. (Note that this will mean that the cards will always come out in the same sequence.)
• Cards attack the enemy player.
• The game ends at the end of the round when a player has 0 or less health.
• Use an array to store the cards. You do not need to use pointers or dynamic memory allocation.
• Comment your code but no need to comment each function.
• Only use card type 1.
